1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Substantial amounts of data have been reported showing a role for immunomodulation of epithelial function (particularly ion secretion and permeability) using animal models of anaphylactic reactions. In part one of this review we outlined the main immune cell types and mediators/cytokines that are currently known to influence epithelial physiology either directly, or indirectly via an intermediate cell type. Here we will expand on the significance of these studies and show how antigenic activation of the mucosal immune system can evoke changes in epithelial function that may be beneficial to the host by mediating loss/inactivation of the antigen. However, a continued and inappropriate immune stimulation can lead to pathophysiological reactions and disease. Thus, we will present data on immune regulation of epithelial function with direct applicability to understanding the mechanism underlying human intestinal inflammatory and secretory disease. Finally, we highlight key strategic points in the cascade of immune events that can control epithelial function and thus may be of relevance in the formulation of new therapeutic approaches to intestinal inflammation.
